It works! I ended up passing the wires through the socket and soldered the wires to the tracks of the other side, the pins are galvanized so I couldn't get the solder to take, as were the tracks on the other side, I just sanded a small area down to remove the zinc, soldered the wires on and secured the resistor with some tiny cable ties. Cant really get a pic up as they're already fitted to my car.
